"Dad / papa bod here, Like Aristotle said "it is what it is"  "
Aristotle quotes now. In danger of getting very high brow in here. Here is another one from you from the legend, "we are what we continually do" Beautiful. Right, back on point.
Dad bods are cool. I have a hybrid one, strong but some body fat rolling around. I am currently about 22% body fat judging by the profile pic, I can get down to 15% to show most of the abs but haven't done it in about 5 years, other priorities. Might go for it again this year, 'for sun is out, taps aff kind of thing'.
For anyone that doesn't embrace what they are carrying and is feeling they are not showing the best version of themselves on here (insecurity can be a bitch) and wants to cut but don't know how. I will share some quick but helpful things now.
You have heard these things before, but it might hit home this time because it is coming from some dude on Fab no less.
Count calories. Fucking dae it, really fucking dae it!! That is your first step. It doesn't mean we are on a diet here, just that it really helps to know how much you are currently putting down your gub. I was fucking shocked when I started daeing this. Wtf, I consume 3500 to 4000 a day, surely no? But I did and I was.
I can dae it aff the top of my head now look. Full tin of Tomato soup, 3 bits of brown bread with butter, that is your first 500 calories ffs. See how easy it is to overeat? Or try this, 3 full bowls of shreddies with full fat milk that comes up to the ceiling of the bowl. 1200 calories ffs!!
So find that out first. Then and only if you want to of course, begin to take items aff very slowly at a time to give your body a chance to get use to running you on lower calories. That piece of chocalate you have after your dinner, start by having 3 quarters of it, then half and a quarter - you get the idea. Very slowly and be very easy on yourself.
If you have a sweet tooth and that is what fucks you, then dae two weeks on brown bread. Yes it may be rank at first but your taste buds will get used to it after about 5 days. Then when someone offers you the white alternative again, you will go, 'this tastes shite'.
That is your taste buds starting to crave and run on more complex types of carbs.
Got any pasta in the house? Get that right tae fuck or dae what I dae. Sainsburys have a protein type pasta only 2.50 for the same amount as the white kind and you don't get that fucking insulin spike that the white kind gives you.
I once ate about 1000 calories of the white kind with others things thrown in to it and became actually hungry after the meal WTF!!!!! That is the mad insulin spike.
Great for carbing up before a marathon race, shite for keeping your weight doon.
If you need more extreme measures to get off the sugar craving, get on that keto diet for a month or two. It is restrictive, but terribly effective. It runs on fat as the prime energy source rather than carbs. Yes it can be shite at times, but when you come back to your normal diet, you will find that mad insulin spike you were getting from your chocolate bar has gone and so has your sweet tooth. Even better, anyone that gets toothache on occasion, keto sorts that tae, as it gives the teeth time to recover from the sugar that was hitting it.
Saying too much now, but if the will is there, there are options. I wish you well, but as Miss Blunder/silky says. Love yourself. Much more important that what perception you have of yourself in front of the mirror.
The late, great Patrice O'neal (a very heavy black comedian) had no problems attracting beautiful women. His patter was brilliant, so that helps. Mine is pish lol
